The practitioner listened to me thoroughly, inspected area thoroughly by hands, gave me the possible diagnosis that made sense and presented what i need to do and what medical treatments were available with the consideration of the time of the day (it was after 7pm).

She was very professional, addressed that we had waited for a while, which I appreciate & understand. It's very refreshing when a provider acknowledges a long wait & explains a little without sharing any details about the other patients instead of just ignoring the delay. She was very compassionate towards my daughter. We ended up in IC because we just can't get into a dermatologist until June, & my daughter has experienced a very significant worsening of her minor acne. It's affecting her self esteem & desire to socialize, & something happened at school on Thursday that brought her to tears. Over the counter treatments weren't working so I took her in in hopes of getting something stronger.

Disclosures

Natalie Zimmer, APRN reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2024.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
